We found evidence of their diet and used this to determine whether the animal was a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. We then used this knowledge to predict which animal it belonged to. We had some great scientific discussion and more importantly lots of fun! ### Poo Disection [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/C2C23F22-570B-4608-AF74-846A07F322AF.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/C2C23F22-570B-4608-AF74-846A07F322AF.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/BFA83724-6514-4A72-903F-316A82A41DAB.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/BFA83724-6514-4A72-903F-316A82A41DAB.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/1580BB7D-2094-4CA9-ACCA-B825300A55CE.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/1580BB7D-2094-4CA9-ACCA-B825300A55CE.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/3EC96690-8D6E-48D4-B99F-C6FECF30895A.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/3EC96690-8D6E-48D4-B99F-C6FECF30895A.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/71210895-0C1C-4C19-8F67-30F753B3C309.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/71210895-0C1C-4C19-8F67-30F753B3C309.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/474E6E76-99B3-4C07-8041-08BD0EB44DEC.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/474E6E76-99B3-4C07-8041-08BD0EB44DEC.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/35580EF3-C320-41D8-998F-FF0037C566F7.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/35580EF3-C320-41D8-998F-FF0037C566F7.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/F9D905F3-2754-4724-9711-B408FCE169C5.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/F9D905F3-2754-4724-9711-B408FCE169C5.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/DF18473C-1026-4D35-85DB-1EF54C389CF8.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/DF18473C-1026-4D35-85DB-1EF54C389CF8.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/DF0F6AEB-E97D-4300-8AD0-E0CA57937D9A.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/DF0F6AEB-E97D-4300-8AD0-E0CA57937D9A.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/151E392B-F060-4473-903C-2B9E2017035F.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/151E392B-F060-4473-903C-2B9E2017035F.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/3229DC8D-205F-4567-91CD-E68ED09B3062.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/3229DC8D-205F-4567-91CD-E68ED09B3062.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/7C47BFF9-A8B5-45F0-AF55-ABBBDE7704EB.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/7C47BFF9-A8B5-45F0-AF55-ABBBDE7704EB.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/8AD18B7D-CC6F-4EE7-B19F-A52C278525AC.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/8AD18B7D-CC6F-4EE7-B19F-A52C278525AC.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/poo-disection/6C7DCCAF-6BBF-4F18-BE3C-ADA33029A999.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/poo-disection/6C7DCCAF-6BBF-4F18-BE3C-ADA33029A999.jpeg) [ Easter Bingo thank you! ](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2025-04-09-08-04-00-easter-bingo-thank-you) [Easter Egg Mystery ](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2025-04-11-17-03-00-easter-egg-mystery) ![The Howard Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/logo/Howard-footer-Logo.png) ### The Howard Primary School The Square Elford Tamworth B79 9DB 01827 383292 - [Term Dates](http://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/termdates) © Copyright 2019–2026 The Howard Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
